Drywood Termites Localized Treatment
Drywood termite treatment becomes critical when drywood termites infest wooden structures. These pests destroy wood from the inside out, and most insurance policies exclude termite-related damage Acting early is essential.
In the U.S., drywood termites are responsible for over a billion dollars in damage each year. Left unchecked, they can compromise your home’s structure. That’s why it’s critical to schedule a targeted termite inspection and begin drywood termite treatment as soon as possible.
Several treatment methods are available, depending on where the infestation is located.
- Fumigation. This whole-house method has been used by professionals for years. It typically takes about two days to eliminate 99% of termites from the structure.
- Wood injection. Ideal for accessible areas, this approach involves drilling small holes into affected wood and injecting a pesticide directly into the infested zone.
- Heat treatment. This spot treatment uses heat to target infested sections. The area is enclosed in vinyl or polyethylene to raise the temperature and kill termites.
- Electrocution method. Low electrical currents are applied to infested wood to destroy termites without chemicals.
